Joe's 30th birthday and a weekend in Delphos (lots of pictures!)

Thursday, March 4th we celebrated Joe turning the big 3-0! He got off work early and picked up Sydney while I ran and got him a full slab of ribs from a yummy rib place nearby. When I got home Sydney and I made him a cake (which she thoroughly enjoyed! :) ) She helped Joe unwrap presents and promptly asked for cake afterward!

Turning 30 is a fire hazard! ;) (it also left lots of ash on the cake!)

Opening Sydney's present...she carried it through the store saying "He's going to love it! He's going to love it!"
Joe with his authentic Suh #93 signed mini-helmet :) and his helper!

Sydney enjoying her hard work!

Joe and my dad and a couple other guys went on a trip to Iowa to a deer hunting "thing." :) So Sydney and I picked up my sister and headed back to the big town of Delphos to spend some time with family! We hadn't been back in a couple of months and I knew that if I didn't go back now, I didn't know I'd be able to go back again with the baby on the way. Anyhow, we got to Grandma Dodo's Friday night and Sydney was wound for sound! We ate supper while she played (she had eaten on the way) and we just chatted with Grandma for awhile. The next morning we had my cousin Erin's bridal shower and Sydney got to see the rest of her family there including her cousin Addison. It took them both awhile to warm up to one another but once they did (and once almost all of the guests left) they were running all over the place chasing each other. :)

Grandma Dodo fed us for nearly every meal....she does love to cook though I think it was a ploy to get Sydney up there too. ;) Syd jumped right in to playing like always and enjoyed being spoiled by Grandma Dodo and all of her cousins and aunts.

Maggie also had a fun-filled weekend....she came along with us and my dear cousin Traci :) was kind enough to take her out to their house for part of the weekend. Maggie enjoyed playing with their dog Scout and their calf, Little Bill. Yep, from what we hear they were romping around the yard together! She was SO out of it when we got home Sunday evening and even in to Monday! :)

  2. I'm so glad Maggie had a good time! We loved having her. I think Scout and Little Bill miss her already! It's so funny how they sleep for DAYS after they play together!

    It was great seeing you guys! Can't wait to see you as a family of 4 (plus Maggie!) soon!
